The provider's own terms (2)

Names this provider uses. They are not LimbAtlas methods; how each relates to the techniques and devices above is noted beside it.

  • “fixator assisted nailing (FAN) and plating (FAP)”

    Named among the centre's hybrid techniques without a description; LimbAtlas has no sourced definition linking them to lengthening.

  • “Ellipse Intramedullary Limb Lengthening System”

    Appears in the Latest Technology page title, but the page content describes FITBONE only, so no PRECICE link is recorded.
